Saturday, February 3rd, 2007Given my recent history with sports prognostications, Tony Dungy, Peyton Manning, and the rest of the Indianapolis Colts may not like this. But I’m pulling for them to win the Super Bowl, and I’m predicting a blowout: 38-17. If you don’t know who to root for, go here. RELATED From the 1000 Words files: a [...]
Finally
Wednesday, January 31st, 2007… A pro athlete demands accountability from misbehaving teammates. In unrelated sports news… If Kobe’s inadvertant elbow warranted a suspension, how has Dikembe (Lethal Elbows) Mutumbo managed to avoid a similar fate despite legions of contusions and broken faces over a 15 year career? The best Super Bowl news out of Miami. A close second. [...]
The Dream Persists
Monday, January 22nd, 2007Congratulations to Tony Dungy and Lovie Smith for becoming the first black head coaches to lead their teams to the Super Bowl in 41 years! As Jeffri Chadiha writes on today’s SI.com, special props go to Dungy for making the most of his trailblazing opportunity and for opening doors to others, including Smith. And, oh [...]
Random Thursday
Thursday, December 21st, 2006You are Time magazine’s Person of the Year. But look at 2006 through a different lens and you’ll see another story, one that isn’t about conflict or great men. It’s a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It’s about the cosmic compendium of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people’s network [...]
Appropo of nothing in particular
Tuesday, December 19th, 2006My cousin (Steven)’s brother-in-law (Brian)’s brother-in-law (Todd Durkin) is the personal trainer for both LaDainian Tomlinson and Drew Brees, the two frontrunners for NFL MVP this year. The Washington Post scoops the story here. To think that three years ago Tomlinson stood on one foot in Durkin’s gym and tried to touch the floor only [...]
NBA players fan into flame the gifts within them
Thursday, December 14th, 2006Great game last night. The Nets kicked Buck Butt, 108-95. Jason Kidd had his third triple double in four games (10, 10, 10) and the 80th of his career, and Vince-anity Carter scored 36. In keeping with last year’s tradition of opposing teams not performing well after my chapel services, perennial Buck All-Star and the [...]
Tonight
Wednesday, December 13th, 2006- v – New Jersey Nets chaplain Willie Alfonso invited me to speak at a joint Nets/Bucks chapel service before tonight’s game at Continental Airlines Arena. I’ll be sharing unconventional Christmas greetings with the players. Keep us in prayer. Last time I did a team chapel (Oakland Raiders at New York Jets), my dad recommended [...]
Dedicated to Trojan Fans
Tuesday, December 12th, 2006Three consecutive late game comebacks and Tennessee quarterback Vince Young continues to remind USC fans why their two Heisman winners lost last year’s title game. I love his quote after Suday’s overtime heroics (a 39-yard, game winning TD run): “I felt like my mom was chasing me with a belt.” — Vince Young to owner [...]
Tuesday’s tidbits
Tuesday, December 5th, 2006+ Malcolm Gladwell on defining a racist. HT: Jordon. + Facebook is more popular among young people 17-25 than Google and Myspace. + Myspace is getting the message, although I’m skeptical how their developing technology will keep out convicted sex offenders who simply choose not to use their real identity. + Overdue props to UCLA [...]
Boxing with Paulie Malignaggi
Tuesday, December 5th, 2006Last June, I sat in a house full of Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico watching the rising Puerto Rican superstar Miguel Cotto take on brash Brooklyn boxer Paul “Magic Man” Malignaggi in Madison Square Garden. Seconds into the first round, a Cotto headbutt gashed Paulie’s face, just above his left eye. The fight appeared to [...]
